Cruel defeat against Panathinaikos Aktor Athens (81-82)

05/01/2024

The first half was very even and was marked by the interior success of both teams and the constant trips to the free throw line, although the Taronja team was ahead for much of the time, they were loaded with personnel inside, they had to adjust at the end of the second quarter and the game was tied at intermission. Mitoglou and Vildoza gave the Greek team a good lead at the beginning of the second half but the entry of Inglis and especially Harper meant a 10-0 run to recover and balance the match again. The taronja team closed its ring during the first four minutes of the last act and made its lead grow a little, but the offensive appearance of the Panathinaikos outsiders left the game tied when it reached the final two minutes. In a tight finish, the Taronja team had two shots to win but a foul on the rebound called on Lessort with 1.9 seconds left that allowed him to score a free throw decided the game.
